Enjoy heart + pericardium healing during this month's summer qigong flow!

Invigorate heart qi, promote better blood circulation, and foster greater peace, lightness of spirit, joy, curiosity, and playfulness!

The pericardium (protective sac around the heart) serves as the heart's guardian, shielding it from emotional and physical disturbances. Join our group classes to regulate the pericardium’s energy, ensuring it functions effectively as both a physical and energetic shield. By balancing this energy, our practice supports the pericardium's role as the inner gates, allowing us to manage emotional and physical experiences while keeping our hearts cool and protected.

*An extra class has been added to the schedule: August 14th (Thursday) at 6-7pm at Manor Mill.

Part 3 of 3:

Common Causes of Excess Heat in the Heart:
* Emotional Stress: Prolonged stress, anxiety, or intense emotions.
* Diet: Excessive consumption of hot, spicy, or greasy foods.
* Infections or Fevers: Pathological heat from infections or high fevers.
* Qi Stagnation: Long-term stagnation of energy or qi can transform into heat, impacting the heart.
*Yin Deficiency: A deficiency in the body's cooling, nourishing yin can lead to relative excess heat.

Common Causes of Yin Deficiency in the Heart:
* Chronic Stress: Prolonged emotional stress can deplete yin, leading to dryness and heat.
* Poor Diet: Lack of nourishing foods and fluids can weaken yin.
* Overwork: Excessive physical or mental exertion can exhaust the body's yin reserves.
* Chronic Illness: Long-term illness can gradually deplete yin, affecting the heart.

Part 2 of 3: Tongue Diagnosis for the Heart - Patterns + Symptoms

Color:
* Excess Heat (see more below): If the tip of your tongue is very red, it might mean your heart’s "overheated," leading to restlessness or irritability.
* Qi Deficiency: A pale tongue can suggest insufficient energy in the heart, causing tiredness or weakness.
* Blood Stagnation: A darker or purplish tongue might indicate poor blood flow, causing chest discomfort or pain.

Swelling:
* Swollen tongue may indicate fluid retention or qi stagnation affecting the heart.

Unusual Texture:
* Cracks: Cracks on the tongue can suggest yin deficiency (see more below), leading to dryness and internal heat.
* Roughness: A rough texture may indicate a deficiency in body fluids, affecting the heart's nourishment.

Coating:
* Thick Coating: A thick, greasy coating might signal excess heat or phlegm accumulation.
* Sticky Coating: A sticky coating can indicate dampness or phlegm obstructing the heart.
* Absence of Coating: No coating often suggests yin deficiency, reflecting a lack of moisture and nourishment in the heart.

Part 1 of 3: Stick out your tongue and look in the mirror. No, really!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the tongue’s considered a reflection of the heart, acting as a "mirror" to reveal its condition. Changes in the tongue's color, shape, and appearance can indicate how well the heart's energy (qi) is functioning.

There's a baby elephant. A rope is tied around their leg, and the other end is secured to a small stick in the ground. The baby elephant tries to pull away, but they’re not strong enough. They pull and pull, day after day, but the rope holds. Eventually, the baby elephant stops trying. They learn that the rope means they can’t move freely.

Years pass. The baby elephant grows into a massive adult, strong enough to pull down trees and move boulders. That same rope is still tied to their leg, connected to that same small stick. But here’s the thing: the adult elephant never tries to break free. They still believe that they can’t.

Why? Because they learned that lesson when they were small. That the rope was an unbreakable barrier. Even though their circumstances have changed, their mind hasn’t. They’re no longer held captive by the rope, but rather by the belief about the rope.

Challenging Old Limitations
This elephant’s story is a lot like our own lives sometimes. When we’re young, or even when we’re trying something new, we might face challenges. Maybe we try to do something, and we fail. We might try again and fail again. Like the baby elephant, we learn a lesson: “I can’t do this.”

But then, things change. We grow. We learn new skills. We gain experience. We become stronger, smarter, more capable. The “rope” that held us back before might now be flimsy and easily broken. However, many of us still carry those old beliefs. We tell ourselves, “I’m not good at public speaking,” or “I’m not creative,” or “I can’t start my own business.” These are often just echoes of past failures or limitations that no longer exist.
What “ropes” are holding you back? Are there old beliefs about yourself or your abilities that are limiting you today?
Are you stronger now than you were when you first encountered that “rope”?
What would happen if you just tried to pull on that rope again? You might be surprised at how easily it snaps.
Overcoming Learned Helplessness + Moving Forward with Mindfulness
This story is a classic example of learned helplessness: a condition where one believes they have no control over their situation, even when opportunities for change exist.

Mindfulness can be a pathway to overcoming learned helplessness. By practicing mindfulness, we become more aware of our thoughts and beliefs, allowing us to challenge and change them. Mindfulness helps us live in the present moment, freeing us from the burdens of old beliefs and stepping into new beginnings, perspectives, and opportunities.

With these ideas in mind, I’ve been thinking about the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction course I took years ago. How I felt time elongate in the most beautiful ways. How I felt truly unruffled by challenging situations. How easily I was able to offer compassion, grace, and love to others while tapping into deep peacefulness.

I very fortunately stumbled upon this FREE Online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course: https://palousemindfulness.com. In accordance with the what the founder (Jon Kabat-Zinn) developed, including various mindfulness practices and yoga, this course is structured for 8-weeks (although is entirely self-paced). Looking for accountability and community? They offer that too via regular virtual (zoom) calls!

Sign up by 12pm Saturday!

Come experience a soul-nourishing journey of embodied movement and deep vibrational healing. The Flow Frequency is a unique fusion of seasonal Qigong practice and live sound meditation - an intentionally curated afternoon to realign your energy, calm your nervous system, and awaken joy through breath, frequency, and flow.

We’ll begin with an hour of Summer Fire Element Qigong, a gentle, heart-centered practice rooted in ancient Chinese medicine. Guided by the rhythms of the season, this practice supports emotional clarity, heart harmony, and nervous system regulation. Breath, mindful movement, and acupressure techniques will help you release stress and restore inner vitality.

The second half invites you to lie down and fully receive a deeply immersive sound bath. With soothing instruments such as handpan, Himalayan singing bowls, and a 32-inch symphonic gong, Bridgette Jester will guide you into the theta brainwave state — a space where true healing, insight, and soul alignment can begin.

We close in sacred stillness, with time for quiet reflection, journaling, and optional sharing within a loving, intentional community.

This event is ideal for anyone seeking:
• Nervous system reset
• Emotional release
• A deeper connection to body, breath, and seasonal flow
• Holistic healing and spiritual integration

Take Control of Your Health & Wellness

Have seen people needlessly suffer - and certainly having experienced it myself - I care deeply about providing opportunities, insight, and knowledge so that others may thrive, instead of just survive.

Over time, we've lost our connection with our internal world, instead focusing so heavily on circumstances and what's going on outside of us. For successful healing to occur, shifting our attention inward is critical. This journey begins with a willingness to look deeper into yourself and what's keeping you stuck. Also, with an openness to experiencing alternative healing methods - ones that have been utilized in China for thousands of years.

We are so powerful in creating our experiences. It's time to take back control of your health and wellness, achieved by learning ways to effectively hone the natural wisdom of your bodies and minds. Are you ready?
